Chronic Stress is Making You Fat   As a society, we're more stressed than we've ever been.  We're also more out of shape, overweight, obese, and unhealthy than we've ever been.  Stress isn't the ONLY reason we're struggling but it's a HUGE contributing factor that we don't give enough time, thought, or work to.     Stress is not just when you feel overwhelmed or pulled in too many directions, stress is a physiological response in your body to TONS of things.  Acute stress, like running from a tiger in the jungle, has kept us alive, but chronic stress is slowly killing us.  We were not designed to be in a stress response long term, yet that's how most of us live our lives and it's taking a toll.  Chronic stress can result in:
  • high blood pressure and heart disease
  • insomnia
  • chronic illness and auto immune disorders
  • stroke
  • overweight, obesity, difficulty losing weight
  • poor digestion, and impaired gut microbiome 
  • weak immune function and prone to catching illnesses
  • muscle tension and pain
  • skin irritations and rashes
  • poor recovery from physical activity
If you're struggling to get healthy and lose weight it could be that chronic stress that's holding you back! Listen in to find out how, and what to do about it.   XOXO Tara   PS.
